Carolina Panthers PK Graham Gano has six field goals of 50 yards or longer this season, a career high and a franchise record. Gano (6-for-6) is the only kicker with more than three attempts from 50-plus without a miss from that distance.

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said the team will stick with PK Graham Gano despite the fact that he missed an extra point in the team's Week 12 loss. "It was more mechanical than anything else," Rivera said. "He over-strided. His plant leg was ahead of the ball which caused him to come down on the ball and he actually caught the ground first and just pushed it to the right. It's one of those things. You're a little bit anxious and you want to get the ball up and he took a big step."

The Carolina Panthers worked out free-agent PKs Graham Gano (Redskins) and Nate Kaeding (Chargers) Tuesday, Nov. 20. Interim general manager Brandon Beane said both kicked well, but the team decided to sign Gano to a two-year deal.

Fantasy Tip: Gostkowski has converted seven straight field goals, and 17-of-20 on the season, so it is unlikely he is in danger of losing his job to one of these retreads. He remains a reliable fantasy kicker going forward.

Washington Redskins PKs Graham Gano and Neil Rackers each kicked head-to-head from distances of 30, 37, 42 and 49 yards. Gano went 5-for-6 with a miss wide right from 49 yards out on the right hash. Rackers made four of his six attempts.

Updating a previous report, the Washington Redskins signed free-agent PK Neil Rackers (Texans) to a one-year deal Tuesday, April 24. He is expected to compete with PK Graham Gano for the starting placekicking chores in training camp.

The Washington Redskins had a field goal and extra point blocked in Week 12, but head coach Mike Shanahan said Tuesday, Nov. 29, that PK Graham Gano was not to blame. Shanahan reiterated he is staying with Gano, who has struggled over his first two seasons. "Sometimes it's a tough decisions – do you go with a young guy like Graham? Is he going to keep on getting better or is he not going to take advantage of opportunities? I don't know," Shanahan said.
